Burial Law Debates Split Conservatives Over Churchyard Rules
The piece reviews Conservative bills led by Mr. Balfour and Mr. Ritchie to reform burial law. It notes splits within the party, the limits on nonconformist services, and clashes with Anglican and donor interests. It argues the measures fail to fully relieve dissenters or the unbaptized, and questions potential nonconformist support.
